Amazon Labor Union Cofounder Arrested Outside Met Gala
Christian Daniel Smalls, cofounder of the Amazon Labor Union, was arrested outside the Met Gala in New York City. Smalls was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after jumping over a police barricade. His arrest coincides with protests against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' sponsorship of the Met Gala. The Amazon Labor Union has distanced itself from Smalls' actions, emphasizing that his protest was not coordinated with the union's ongoing campaigns. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Amazon and labor activists over workers' rights and corporate practices.
